Mark comes to work 20 minutes late today because his alarm clock didn't wake him up. He greets his co-workers and some of them have patients already so they just wave at him.

When he enters his office, he sees a bouquet of sunflowers added to his collection of bouquets from his admirer.

He smiles and walks over to his swivel chair, grabbing the flowers as he sits down. There are two packs of gummy worms inside and a sticky note attached on the back of one of them.

He picks it up and feels his heart beating so fast as he starts to read his admirer's letter.

hey, minhyung ♡

sunflowers are my favorite and you're my favorite person hihi. as a promise, i bought you gummy worms :)) hope you like it!

xoxo,
mochi

"Mochi. That's actually a cute nickname." He giggles before sticking the note inside the bouquet.

He puts it down on the table then opens the first pack of gummy worms. It's ironic how he's a dentist yet this admirer of him is giving him sweets. But he doesn't mind, he knows how to take care of his own teeth.

He's just happily enjoying his gummy worms when someone shouts his name. "Mark! The reception area."

He groans and gets up from his seat. He puts his gummy worms inside his pocket before leaving his office. "Are you all not available?"

"Nope. You're the only one who doesn't have a patient right now," someone replies.

"What the heck!" he mumbles.

When he reaches the reception area, which is located exactly in the waiting room, a middle-aged woman is standing by the said area, leaning her arms on the counter top.

"Good morning, Ma'am! Do you have an appointment?" he asks, smiling to the woman. He suddenly furrows his eyebrows when he notices that the woman looks familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Hi, good morning! Yes, actually, I asked for an appointment but I would like to move the date," the woman said.

"Oh, let me check in our system. Their name, please?" He prepares the file and clicks on the search bar.

"It's for my nephew. His name is Jisung. Park Jisung."

He freezes a little when he hears the name. Haven't heard it for a long time. "Okay, wait a minute." He types his name then clicks on the result. And there he sees his record. "Park Jisung, 18 years old?" The woman only nods. "The schedule would be tomorrow, Friday, but you'd like to move it, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Sure, we can do that. On which day would you like the appointment to move?" he asks, sighing deeply.

"On Saturday, please."

He nods and edits his record to change the date from Friday to Saturday. "Okay, it's settled."

"Oh, also, my nephew said he wants the dentist named Lee Minhyung to check his teeth." With that, he gulps.

Fuck. "Sure, if he's available on that day, then he can meet your nephew. Anything else, Ma'am?"

"No, no. It's all right now." She smiles a bit.

He nods and saves Jisung's record before closing the file. "All right! See you, then."

"Thank you. Bye." The woman smiles then leaves the clinic.

He sighs once again before walking back to his office. Park Jisung.
